mary kutter - bootlegger's bible lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
in the beginning, never thought that it would end
that money flowed like the ohio and it kept on rolling in
his world came crashing like the stocks in ’29
that great depression that he fell in broke his heart so bad he died
the higher you are, the farther you fall (he had it)

[chorus]
now he’s just a name on a grave
here lies a sinner and a saint
he was baptized by the bottle
of his homemade whiskey gospel
mixing spirits with the truth
what you sow catches up with you
if his story had a title
it’d probably be the bootlegger’s bible

[verse 2]
hard to live right when it’s hard to get by
god don’t judge what he did to survive
he was clear that this town could’n’t take him down
lord knows a few people tried
thought the well woulda never run dry
but everybody’s got their time

[chorus]
now he’s just a name on a grave
here lies a sinner and a saint
he was baptized by the bottle
of his homemade whiskey gospel
mixing spirits with the truth
what you sow catches up with you
if his story had a title
it’d probably be the bootlegger’s bible
[post+chorus]
boot, bootlegger’s bible
boot, boot, the bootlegger’s bible

[chorus]
and now he’s just a name on a grave
here lies a sinner and a saint
only proof for that disciple
and his whiskey tainted gospel
it’s that church in kentucky
that he built with devil’s money
if his story had a title
it’d probably be the bootlegger’s bible

[post+chorus]
boot, bootlegger’s bible
boot, boot, the bootlegger’s bible
